I hope this isn't part of their ploy to charge us more for shinkis with less armor. =P

Actually I think it's just to keep the confusion down because otherwise they'd probably need to introduce that 'medium armor' range they were talking about and that's more different classifications than the line needs.

That seems to be the case, yes. At least, no more shinki specifically labelled such, despite fitting the name, like Gabrine and Renge.

rubixbox wrote:While we're on the subject, what wave are the MK. IIs? Or are they "Wave 1 Renewal" Shinkis?

I haven't listed the MkIIs or any of the repaints mostly because they don't have wave numbers or designations- this is true on that wikipedia.jp article, too. Lavina and Tempesta were listed, but had no sort of wave designation.

I've been considering the idea of adding the repaints and such to this list. Does anyone else think it'd be a good idea?
